Quoted from Hayfarmer:

I dont have mylar on hand, and le delivery nx week. Any other options that is removable without pulling paint?

Quoted from Av8:

Live stream with programmer. I’m still trying figure out how I got 3 Billion GC.

Quoted from J-drum11:

Loving this machine so far!
I know they will update codes and fix some bugs.
As an incredibly huge Rush fan , I still wish they would incorporate a couple things.
There’s a lot of references to “roll the bones” on the machine yet there’s no roll the bones sound track? Wouldn’t it make sense to have a roll the bones multiball on this machine?
They also could have had a “ hold your fire “
Type multi ball. 3 red balls on the playfield would have been awesome!
Someone needs to make a drums mod for the poppers.
And stern should make each popper have a drum sound. 1 snare, 1 bass drum, one tom
To sound like a drum fill when hitting those
There’s so much more potential to this machine.

Quoted from upsfeedr:

Anyone have news on Rush Expression lights? I was not lucky enough to get a LE. That’s mod that is a must for the Pro and Premium.

Quoted from beelzeboob:

Thanks for this...it actually helps a dimwit like me. I hate sifting through 10 pages of rules trying to decipher the gist of it.

Quoted from jsm174:

#352 found its home after a 15 year "dream" theme wait!
(Actually glad it took that long considering all the advances in pinball tech.)

Quick question if someone can please check and answer. Roughly how far back is the plunger tip from the edge of the auto plunger?
I can't seem to manually plunge the ball with any power. It's bad enough that I've been using the auto plunger all the time.
Compared to Transformers, it seems much further back:

Quoted from jsm174:

TBH, sometimes it won't even make it to the upper flipper. So that's why I figured I would ask.

Quoted from Animal:

Do the LEs come with an External Volume Control/Headphone Jack? It appears not, but can anyone with an LE pls confirm?

Quoted from gandamack:

Next time you do this, could you possibly make a video? Would really appreciate it! I think I will do it regardless of "upsetting Stern". They upset me first.

Quoted from manadams:

Anyone break a billion on new code yet? I usually focus on completing games but some of these modes are really hard to complete. Have had some pretty long games but my best on new code is just under 900 mil.

Quoted from Rarehero:

Knock it out with another ball or give the game a light nudge, rolls right back.

Quoted from Calgedy:

Has anyone made it to year 2112 on the .90 code? Has anyone made it through all 6 modes to get to the Cygnus modes (3 ball). I have only gotten to year 2045 lol. I refuse to switch it to 5 ball. The game is much harder since the .90 code was released (good). There are so many modes with so much to do in each mode it is absolutely awesome. I want to achieve all 47 achievements connected to Stern, have 10 to go. Some seem really tough to get, which is the way it should be. Loving this pin after 50 or so plays.

Quoted from Calgedy:

I finally got through La Villa mode last night and have gotten to the 5th mode of 6 but drained almost immediately after getting into the 5th mode. Yeah, the right ramp is probably the toughest for me. That and starting Freewill multi-ball and the two far left and right lanes. Nothing from the 90's.......not my favorite era but should have been represented.

Quoted from SkyKing2301:

Thanks very much for posting this! I can't take credit for the dogs themselves, they're pre-manufactured (as described in the listing) but you're right -- they are VERY nice, and I assessed a couple different pre-mfd dalmatian variants before selecting this one based on quality and pose/position.
Thanks also for the pre-approval-via-PM-to-post this critique (so it doesn't look like I'm "calling you out" per se, lol) -- as this will help others who have purchased or will purchase this mod -- the installation shown in those pics needs some adjustment. The hydrant should face the other way (with the large outlet/cap facing the player), and I designed the mount with clearance for the lobe to go UNDER it. This will hide the lobe itself, and also eliminates that gap below the hydrant (since it will sit "in" the mount, below the top surface).
For those who intend to install this mod, here are the installation instructions:

Quoted from Boslaw:

Is anyone else seeing a bug where you score a skill shot in the upper left lane between the super skill shot ramp and the dead end/vuk? The backglass screen says skill shot 750,000 but Alex's callout says skill shot 500,000.
Gotta give some kudos to Stern - I have reported at least 6 different issues to them since Friday and their tech support rep has been emailing me throughout the weekend about them, including today. I never expected a response over the weekend.

Quoted from Apollo18:

Fly by Night & Big Money are my fav modes right now.
Burns more when I drain a ball on those

Quoted from pduffy:

On one of the multiballs (cant recall which one) my whole playfield goes dark except for a handful fo lights during the multiball and then come back on. Is that by design (i hope)?

Quoted from onemilemore:

Can anyone clarify for me if the gate at the spinner loop is coded to sometimes be closed or reject? I definitely get quite a few rejects off that shot, but they will still get the spinner moving and register a switch hit. I often use that route to set up a shot to the upper ramp or loop, so it's mildly frustrating when it clangs off. Just curious if it's intentional or if I need to explore a fix. Thanks!

Quoted from DRDAVE:

Question for LE owners:
Does your game take a loonngggg time to boot all the way up? Mine is Like a 1970's TV set that takes a while to warm up.
It's running the latest .93 code.
I just timed it and 28 seconds of black display before any signs of life on it.
57 seconds for the game to come all the way up.
I tried a friend's premium and it seemed much quicker to boot all the way up. Like 2x quicker.

Quoted from DiabloRush:

My Rush Pro comes in tomorrow. This game got me back into pinball. I had dozens of machines I bought/restored back in the 90s/early 2000s. Sold them off around 2010 as I moved and had no place to store or use them. Anyway, as much as I love pinball, Rush has been my band since the mid-70s. Seen them in concert dozens of times, including their 3rd to last concert in Vegas in 2015. Rush + Pinball is my dream combo, so of course, I’m back in the hobby now.
Anyway, while I doubt this will ever be acted upon, I wanted to add a few songs I’d love to see in a future firmware release. I’ve seen other similar lists in this thread, so perhaps Stern is taking notes. I realize there’s no way even a small number of these would make it. I’d be thrilled to have *any* on this list, honestly.
Additional songs:
Natural Science (pretty please!)
Xanadu
A Farewell to Kings
Bytor and the Snow Dog
The Necromancer (yeah, I know, never going to happen….)
The Pass
The Camera Eye
Witch-hunt
Presto
The Wreckers
Dreamline
Time Stand Still (bonus trivia: this is the only Rush song with a guest singer. Can you name him/her?)
Red Sector A

Quoted from Photopin:

Dammit this game can be so freaking frustrating at times. I'm currently going through a stretch where I'm lucky if I break 30m. I had one entire game where the lower flippers did not touch the ball once even with the ball save. (That should be an insider connected achievement right there.) I think I'm going to have to step away for a little bit before I break something.

Quoted from Fuzzdaddy:

Curious to know if anyone has this very minor issue - when The Spirit of Radio song mode is active, the corresponding blue "song planet" does not light. All the other song planets light up when their particular song is active. The bulb isn't faulty as the blue will light up at other times during game play. Not really a big deal - just curious to see if others have noticed or if it's just my machine.

Quoted from OutpostKodelia:

Based on your purchase date, it looks like you got our v1 protector. We offered free upgrades for those folks to the v2 protector, which fixed a breakage issue (I'm going to guess yours broke on the back right side of the lower scoop, right next to the scoop's metal arc... if so, that's exactly what v2 addresses). Anyways, that offer still stands. We'll happily upgrade you to the new version if you're interested in that. For what it's worth, we also make a version we call the "fat lip", where the lip edge extends a couple mm further out to cover up playfield damage. We could send that one if you like. PM me and let me know how you want to proceed.

Quoted from CrashJT:

I installed the real knocker tonight, then made good use of it by finally breaking a billion. Still didn't get to Cignus.

Quoted from yzfguy:

I'm kinda nervous to get mine... I'm looking forward to it, but it's hard to imagine it living up to my 1700 dollar expectations!

Quoted from Magicman:

Said every collector ever who now has a whole room so full of games that no more will fit. Thanks for the good laugh though. I was there once too.

Quoted from Vespula:

I have to say I was that guy with GNR. 1 pin guy. Done.
Then had to have RUSH. But I'm really done now. No room, and the gatekeeper. Not a chance. I'm ok with it, she's right.

Quoted from Magicman:

I totally get it, and I respect that you have your priorities in order my friend (family first). I'm half just teasing you, but if I had a dollar for every time I heard the "1 and only 1" line from guys that recently bought their first game, I'd be able to retire now. In my case, we ended up building a detached garage and enclosing our attached garage for an additional 20'x20' climate controlled space which is now the game room/media room (games, TV and Stereo) so we could get the games out of the living room.
My wife has been very supportive of my pinball hobby, but has put her foot down that there will be NO games outside of the game room. With 10 games, I consider myself really lucky, and know that I have to respect that request. Things are a little different these days than when I got into the hobby 20 years ago. Back then, you could pick up a decent System 11 game for $800-$1,200 so there's that. Please don't take what I said too seriously, and good luck with those girls. I also have 3 girls and the youngest just graduated from college yesterday, so I know a little something about that.

Quoted from kool1:

Was an issue for me also. I made some choices to get rid of some furniture and "stuff" and presto - more room.

I thought 1 and then 2 pins were "crazy" also but then they doubled very quickly. I'm not sure what happened. I think I told my wife I was selling one of them and then didn't lol. I think she has just given up on me anyway - kind of whatever makes you happy as long as you can afford it.
I have considered a 5th but I have stopped myself since GZ. My son started university this year so I'm giving him a lot of pinball money ....

Quoted from arcyallen:

We understand where you're coming from. We know your heart is sincere. Having said that, here are three immutable facts:
1) You're a liar, lair.
2) Your pants are on fire.
3) Said pants are hanging. On a telephone wire.

Quoted from Vespula:

Im there also. I think I'm in crazy land with 2 pins. Some guys are unbridled and have the resources, the time, and that is great for them, but I just entered this hobby wanting gunner and that's it. I thought I was crazy, then my favorite band pin came out and now I have two. I just think I'm twice as crazy now and seriously don't want another.
I enjoy pinball but I enjoy other things too...I don't want to be fixing and maintaining that much.... But, If something came out that could de-throne either GNR or RUSH, bring it on, I'd like to see that ! Not likely.

I'm in that club. What is it with RUSH guys and 3 girls?
I also have 3 girls, youngest just grad high school.

Quoted from parsonsaj:

Topper question for anyone who's already installed.... does the topper use CN7 on the CPU node board? That is going to be a conflict with the Pinwoofer power board, from what I can tell.
Still patiently (well not really!) waiting for my topper to be delivered after a tracking number was provided last week, but UPS still doesn't have it...

Quoted from Big_Whoopin:

Also, was a close call with my ceiling!
